每日一歌:Dusty Springfield-《Son of a Preacher Man》。今年是这首歌诞生40周年,此歌的制作人Jerry Wexler今年刚刚去世了。这个Wexler发明了Rhythm & Blues这个词,并且与Aretha Franklin,Ray Charles,Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan,Dire Straits,B-52s等等很多音乐家都有关系。
这首歌选自Dusty Springfield的专辑《Dusty in Memphis》,但此歌的人声部分却是在纽约录的。因为Dusty面对那么多牛逼的孟菲斯乐手有些怯场,后来回到纽约后听着耳机伴奏,一气呵成。我特别喜欢Dusty在这首歌中的声音,太迷人了。
Son of a Preacher Man Billy-ray was a preachers son
And when his daddy would visit hed come along When they gathered round and started talkin Thats when billy would take me walkin A-through the back yard wed go walkin Then hed look into my eyes Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was Being good isnt always easy
No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talkin to me Hed come and tell me everything is all right Hed kiss and tell me everything is all right Can I get away again tonight? The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin kisses from me on the sly Takin time to make time Tellin me that hes all mine Learnin from each others knowing Lookin to see how much weve grown And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin son of a preacher man Ahh, move me |
